Peace and Love, Black Family! Superficially, community “activism” looks good for optics! Feeding the homeless, protesting for injustice, filing petitions, and so on is great when you want people to point and say, “______ is out here in the community doing this or that!” But what we as Afrikans MUST change is our THOUGHT PROCESS—FIRST & FOREMOST! Without changing our thoughts we remain in the same position as our ancestors. Surely, we need to be active in the community, but without changing our ideology, our community activism is just going along with the traditional Black Activist minstrel show! GET ON CODE. STAY ON CODE.🩸💣🔫✊🏾 BLACK POWER! #blackpower #blacklove #blackman #blackwoman #blackempowerment #blackrevolution #blackrevolutionary #revolution #truth #knowledge #blackconsciousness #intimacy #blackpower #blackqueen #blackunity #blacksunite #blacksunited #blacknationalism #african #panafrican #blackpeople #blackowned #malikismindful https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIgxWHONQ9BbMFZstmgon5kBWSBYwymUUuSsc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nobody, I repeat NOBODY will do it for us! If they do we will be remade in the image of our enemies! Google “janissary” and you’ll see why!

Everything that happens to you or around you happens for a reason, it’s how you overcome your obstacles that make you a better, stronger, more powerful person. The first step to becoming rich: stop living life as a victim but as a victor.

"JUSTICE IS NOT A GAME" tee

2 Store Reviews

from $40.23

The King, takes a stand with and for the people, basketball serves(ed) as a route to financial freedom for many black men. However these same black men understand their roles are bigger than dribbling and while they’ll always do it for the love of the game, they know justice is not a game!

Blog #3: Brema Brema, a versatile creative

For my final blog post, I wanted to talk about an artist and visionary close to home; Brema Brema. He is known for founding the clothing and lifestyle brand “Unfinished Legacy”, which he started in good old Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Brema was born and raised in Sudan up until age five, where war-like conditions caused his family to flee to a Kenyan refugee camp. They later settled in Milwaukee in 2010. Growing up, Brema used skateboarding, street art and photography as his creative outlet and began interning at the Milwaukee Art Museum. One day, the staff were asked to describe themselves with one word, and one intern answered saying “unfinished”. This response resonated with Brema, it spoke to him about where he’s at now and the journey ahead of him. This epiphany influenced him to start his brand and its ethos. The concept behind an “unfinished legacy” makes you think about everything that has led you up to today and your potential of what still lies ahead. It kind of reminds me of when Kobe Bryant said “jobs not finished”, it has the same spirit. It encourages people to keep pushing forward, your legacy being “unfinished” to promote continued growth and being the best version of yourself.

I had first heard of Brema around 2018 when he came to my high school to give a presentation of his career. At this time he was a part of a creative media group called MKE Misfits, and was screen printing for Unfinished Legacy in his basement. The garments would consist of bright, vibrant colors with the brand logo, the iconic UL butterfly or “Milwaukee” printed on jeans, t-shirts and flannels. The butterfly ended up becoming a staple of the brand ethos and message. An interview with Vogue has Brema explain the importance of the butterfly, where he says “they represent migration, which fit my upbringing perfectly” and that “butterflies can’t see their wings or how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can”. He followed by saying “I never realized my true potential and value in the world, It’s something I’ve struggled with as I continue to grow. Other people saw my talents and potential before I could.” These ideas align with Bremas story in a special way which he used to build the message behind the brand. The Vogue interview came about after Brema got some light shined on him for his “Black Lives Matter” tees, featuring the quote with butterflies around it, symbolizing hope. He would hand these tees out to protestors during the BLM movement in 2020 and sold some with proceeds going to a local youth organization True Skool.

There is truly no one else in the city that has made moves and an influence like Brema has. I would even consider Unfinished Legacy to be the most successful streetwear and lifestyle brand that has come out of Milwaukee. Bremas’ art relates very closely to the Harlem Renaissance, a time where African Americans blossomed in Harlem through art mediums just like Brema demonstrates. Brema uses art, visual media, music and the community built behind the brand to tell his story and create an influence on the city and rest of the world. Besides the butterfly, Unfinished Legacy showcases the power of the black experience through positive messages and graphics, adding to the central theme of hope.

Some of these graphics include full print t-shirts of black icons; such as Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Basquiat, and Muhammad Ali, who’s stories relate to the brands message, and the“A Genius From The Hood'' graphic and Black History collection. To add to community influence, Brema would frequently hold pop ups at skate shops and streetwear stores in Milwaukee, New York and Los Angeles with his collection for sale and a screen print workshop where you can screenprint your own Unfinished Legacy tee. You can also find plenty of tutorials on his YouTube channel which guides you through everything you need to know to start your own clothing brand and production.

This year, after previously living in Los Angeles for a couple years, Brema moved back to Milwaukee and opened the flagship store for Unfinished Legacy where it all started. The store showcases everything the brand is about and also serves as a creative hub, where art exhibits and creative gatherings occur to foster a growing community in the city.

Just like the brand name says, Brema's work is unfinished. He is constantly learning and growing to reach his highest potential and influences a lifestyle for others to do so as well.

Peace and Love, Black Family! Don’t feel sad or get angry when you imagine the pain and suffering our ancestors endured as chattel, because they had only one choice to get out of the situation — DEATH! Those who didn’t choose death, choose to comply with the terms and agreement of their captivity, and here we are! Today, we have more than enough opportunity to escape these corporate plantations. We have more than enough knowledge to cripple the United States if we chose to do so. No, don’t feel sorry for them, they had only one choice, while we have MANY. On a larger scale, we choose to invest more and more of ourselves into this system, so how can we change? How many of us truly “can” leave these “Divided States of AmeriKKKa” without leaving our closest, beloved relatives? Not many! Undoubtedly, the United States couldn’t be where it is in history without Black people. We made them who they are today, but what do we have to show for it? Directly or indirectly. The question is, “What are we doing for Self?” I know that many of us have businesses, and that is a major step in gaining PERSONAL FREEDOM! For it seems that is ALL we can focus on, our PERSONAL FREEDOM. Many Black people at this point in time are so committed to the White power structure by proxy, and stand to lose what has been deemed as comfort. Truly, it is complicity masked as assimilation! We may never see the establishment of a Black Nation, NOT because it cannot be done, but because too many Black people have invested too much into the White power structure for their own personal gain, and refuse to lose that. Black people are still slaves, we are just mesmerized by the renovated cotton fields that now look like big tall buildings with cubicles and offices, computers, and electronic gadgets. YOU…ME…WE ARE STILL ON THE PLANTATION! GET ON CODE. STAY ON CODE.🩸💣🔫✊🏾 BLACK POWER! #blackpower #blacklove #blackman #blackwoman #empowerment #blackrevolution #raceonly #blackpeopleonly #black #revolutionary #power #truth #knowledge #blackconsciousness #blackpower #blackqueen #blackunity #blacknationalism #african #panafrican #blackpeople #blackowned #malikismindful
